Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit our website. They contain information about your browsing behavior and preferences. Cookies help us understand how you use our site and enhance your experience. We also use similar tracking technologies like web beacons and pixels.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality like security, authentication, and site navigation. You cannot disable these cookies.
These cookies remember your preferences and choices to improve your experience.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most popular, and how long users spend on pages. This data helps us improve the website.
We use these cookies to track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and to serve relevant content and advertisements to you.
We work with third-party service providers who may place their own cookies on your device:
These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use your data. We recommend reviewing their policies at their websites.

We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If you enable GPC in your browser or device settings, we treat it as an opt-out of marketing and analytics cookies. Essential cookies remain active as they're necessary for site functionality. To enable GPC, check your browser's privacy settings or install a GPC-enabled extension.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our website. Some features may not work properly if you disable essential cookies. Disabling cookies does not prevent us from collecting some information through other means (like pixels or server logs).
Some browsers include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we do respect opt-out mechanisms through our cookie consent banner and GPC signals. If you have privacy concerns, use these tools to manage your preferences.
Beyond cookies, we use tracking pixels (1x1 pixel images) and web beacons embedded in emails and web pages. These work similarly to cookies to track conversions, page visits, and user behavior. They are governed by the same consent mechanisms as marketing cookies.
EU Residents (GDPR): We obtain explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time through your cookie preferences or by contacting privacy@xpandmedia.io.
California Residents (CCPA): You have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. Our marketing cookies are governed by this right. Use our cookie preferences to opt-out.
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in our cookie practices or in response to new regulations. Changes are effective when posted. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
